What To Expect
Stop 1
⏱ 2hAdmission includedTesshu-ji Temple – A Sacred Legacy of the Tokugawa Clan Tesshu-ji Temple proudly bears the Tokugawa family crest, the "Mitsuba Aoi" — a rare symbol of the legendary shogunate dynasty that ruled Japan for over 260 years. Enshrined within is a Thousand-Armed Kannon with over 800 years of history, watching over generations with boundless compassion. Experience Zazen — the ancient Zen practice of seated meditation — finding stillness and clarity before a Bodhisattva with over 1,000 years of history. Then, ring the temple's historic bell — one that survived WWII, when countless bells across Japan were melted down as war materials, protected here by its revered Tokugawa heritage. As its pure tone drifts toward Mount Fuji, history, spirituality, and beauty unite in one unforgettable moment. Finally, receive your very own Goshuin — a unique, hand-written sacred seal created exclusively for you, a treasured keepsake carrying the soul of Tesshu-ji home with you.
